Musical Interlude: Ain't That a Shame (1980)

If you thought Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" was meant to played solely on the piano, think again. At the 1980 American Music Awards, Cheap Trick demonstrated that this was meant to rock out straight up.



This wouldn't be the last cover we'd get from Cheap Trick. A few years later, they famously covered "Don't Be Cruel", with drummer Bun E. Carlos deciding to dress up as Elvis Presley for a day. If you thought their original songs ("I Want You to Want Me", "Dream Police", etc.) were something special, this is a treat.
